The picture of the good ship Ionian on which tho lady securing the. larg est, number of votes in The Times' Croat Popularity Voting Contest, to gether with her companion will sail for Europe, is now in the window of i he Jolly & Wynne jewelry store. This ship is of tho-Royal Dominion line, and Is one of the handsomest and largest of passenger steamers. The lucky contestant need not be afraid of shipwrecks or storms on this steamer. Yesterday we announced for the first time the names of contestants who had actually begun work. The list was not padded, as we did not care to merely publish a list, of names, and only published those who . had sent in voles up to Saturday, 6:00 p. m. Miss Bessie . Perkinson, of Durham, district three, lead the en tire contest yesterday. Miss Frances Ronfrow,, of Raleigh, was second in he entire contest, as well as being first in district ne. Miss Ethel Bow den, of Justice, is flrst in her district as well as third In the contest, and Miss Katie Lee Gooeh, of Stem, is fourth in the entire contest and flrst in district four. A number of the other ladies have secured a good start and it will only take a very small niimber of subscrip tions for anyone to lead the entire contest, at this stage. Miss Bessie Perkinson, of Durj ham, continues to load the list today, and it rests with the other contest ants as to who will lead 'tomorrow.' The contest, as you might say. has jiist started, as a five-years' subscrip tion would cause a contestant to lead the entire list. It is not too lade- to enter this great contest. NOW would be a good time, for the reason that few of the ladies have turned in but a few votes up to this time. Don't delay; Send in your name and ad dress to the Contest Manager today. The prizes are well worth the few weeks' effort, as there is a trip to Europe for the contestant who se cures the largest number of votes, which includes anyone she wishes to take with her. Second, there is a magnificent $4 50 piano; third, the $400 set of furniture; fourth, a $300 piano, and to each district a hand some diamond ring and a King's Bus iness College Scholarship. Four dia monds and four scholarships in all. If you want one of the-above prizes NOW is the time to start trying for them. ' MORE ABOUT LOXDOX WORLD'S .METROPOLIS. Scenes and Places to he Visited by The Times' Tourists Make a Scrap Rook. One of the candidates in The Times' great prize contest suggested today that it would be an excellent plan to clip the articles from The Times descriptive of the places to be visited by the winners of the great European prize trip contest, making a scrap book that would be almost as valuable as a guide book. -More About London. The members of The Times' party will be kept busy in London, the visit to the great metropolis being the event of a lifetime and the attrac tions so many and varied as to appeal to every member. A visit to West minster Abbey is always a source of pleasure, for it is one of the most famous buildings not alone of Lon don, but of the world, and not only for what it is, but for what it con tains, i In the early Roman times a temple of Apollo stood on the ground now occupied by the present building, and in 616 it was superseded by the flrst Christian church, erected in honor of St. Peter by the Saxon king, Sebert. The real founder, however, was Ed ward1 the Confessor, who rebuilt Westminster some time between 1049 THE JEWELERS and 1065. The abbey retained its early dedication to St. Peter and down to the present time is known as the Collegiate church of St. Peter, Westminster. Very little of the old church remains, except the chapel of the Pyx. Henry III pulled down part of It and rebuilt it, and Henry VII pulled down pa-rt of it and rebuilt it, and Henry VII pulled down most of Henry Ill's work and immortalized himself by erecting the chapel called by bis name. With the exception of the two western towers, which were completed by Wren, the outer aspect of Westminster Abbey at the present day is very much the same as Henry VII left It. The Poets' corner, of which so'much has been written, was first alluded to by Goldsmith, in whose day It was chiefly celebrated as con taining the grave of Chaucer. His tomb is the only ancient monument in Poets' corner, where., as Addison quaintly remarks, "there are many poets who have no monuments and many monuments who have no poets." Among the more recent graves are those of Robert. Browning, Alfred -'Tennyson, and the actor, Henry Irving.. Hetirv VII's chaiiel, referred to above, Is the finest perpendicular building in England, and Prior Bil- ton, the architect, superintended its building. Almost all the sovereigns of England, from Henry VII to George II, have been buried there. The ceiling, with its magnificent tracery, Is its crowning glory. In the south aisle of the chapel is the tomb of Mary, Queen of Scots, and in the north aisle, beneath a lofty canopy, is the coffin of Queen Elizabeth, The chapel of Erward the Confes sor is the sacred shrine of its founder. Tho shrine of Edward is immediately behind the high altar of the abbey, and the whole chapel is paved with kings, queens, and princes. Here also is the coronation chair of Edward I. It eucloses the Stone of Destiny, tra ditionally supposed to be Jacob's pil lar, and of which the Scots believed that wherever it was carried the su preme power would go with it. Ed ward I brought it to London in 1297, in token of Scotland's complete sub jugation, and every English sovereign since that date has been crowned In this chair. It was also used by Queen Victoria on the occasion of the jubi lee service. It has never been taken from the abbey but once, the occasion being when Oliver Cromwell was in stalled as protector in Westminster hall. . These are only a few of the many interesting features of Westminster Abbey, whore hous can be spent In both an entertaining and instructive manner. The public Sunday serv ices, held at different hours, are al ways attended by visiting Americans, the music being a splendid feature. Just across the street from West minster Abbey are the houses of par liament, which are open to the pub lic each Saturday forenoon, when par liament is not in session. On the ground where the present house of parliament now stands the ancient royal palace of Edward the Confes sor formerly stood.

Pearson, chief of police of Black Creek nnd son of the mavor of that town was shot from-ambush. His logs and thighs were literally peppered with shot and tho tires of the bicycle he was riding Wore badly punctured. Mr. Pearson bad called on a ladv in the neighborhood-of -Seven Bridges, and while on his return trip homo he was seeretel:' assaulted with' the above results, - - There is a man In the neighborhood who has, on two different occasions (so It is aileged). threatened to kill the young officer, and he was at the home of a familv whom Mr. Pearson and his lady friend visited Sunday night,, but he left soon after their arrival. These occurrences are becoming too frequent for the peace lovers of Black Creek township. A few months since a young couple were standing on the front porch of the ladv's parents home when they were fired on from ambush. The young man's body was filled with shot. The young lady seeing her lover so cowardly assaulted stepped in the the house and secured her father's rifle, and sent five shots in the t direction from where she saw the flash of the gun and it is thought that she hit the mark, for the next momlns It was said, that a man who had made his threats to kill the young lady, was seen in Wilson looking for a surgeon to extract rifle balls from his body. At any rate, a white man who is charged with the deed will have to explain to PRESIDENT RROWX. President C. W. Brown, of the Xew Vork Central & Kudson River Rail road, who has become a very promi nent personage lately for various reasons. Mr. Brown, in several ad dresses has pointed out Chat since liv ing is higher, wages should he high er, whore an increase in wane- would mean so much. Judge (IuImii ainl a Jury at the I Vbiu ahuiil ary term of court what ho knows that, shooting. Hounds from Tarboro .'were put on the trail between two and throe o'clock Monday afternoon. They, took the "scent" immediately -which led to the home of a young man by the name of Willie. Lancaster. lie was arrested and brought to Wilson, and at this writing he is in the Custody of the sheriff. The; young man says he is able to prove un alibi that ho was at home when tho shooting took place, a mile away. .

The meeting' today opened with an address by resident Lalanne, who said in part: . "It 'seems to me that the tariff rela tions between the United States and Germany have reached almost an acute stage and that the commerce of our country is likely to severely suffer if Ormany s present attitude Is math- ance in the grand jury room, tuined.

Whilst having every sympathy with the desire for unification of laws amongst the various -stnteu. It seems to me that the greates care should, be txerctsed against any usupratlon on the part of the general administration in the direction noted," PARIS STILL AT MERCY OF THE FLOOD Dynamite Resorted to By The Engineers to Save The City From Destruction NIGHT OF TERROR Historic Bridge Blown I'p to Prevent the Formation of Destructive Dam and All Other Bridges Are Closely Watched No Relief From the Flooded Conditions Snow Today Adds to Suffering and the liiver ,- Continues to Rise Telephones anil Telegraph and Subway Lines Out of Commission.

The historic Pont Do l.'Almu, one 'of the most famous of the bridges span ning the Seine, was blown up to pro vent the formation of a destructive dam. At every other bridge engineers were on guard all night and today ready to take similar steps at the first sign of a crisis. - '.. There is no relief from the Hood conditions. To add to the suffering the warm rain was changed to a heavy snow this morning and it is impossible for the engineers to watch the conditions as closely as they had before. Many lives "are reported lost in the collapse of buildings in the outskirts. . It was only after a night of terror that the use of dyiijtrxte was decid ed upon.

Dawn broke without any sign of relief in the city. The water was ris ing steadily, and hours before noon almost overlapped the levels of the highest bridges and quays, and it was snowing heavily.
